Quinag, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Quinag rises to 808 meters with three distinct peaks connected by ridges, offering panoramic views over Loch Assynt and the northern Scottish Highlands.
The mountain formation resulted from ancient volcanic activities and subsequent glacial processes during the last ice age, shaping its current geological structure.
The mountain bears the Gaelic name A' Chuineag, reflecting the strong connection between Scottish Highland landscapes and traditional Gaelic language preservation.
The main hiking trail starts from the designated parking area at coordinates NC232273, following established paths that cover 13 kilometers with 910 meters elevation gain.
The John Muir Trust manages this mountain, which contains two grand corries and supports populations of golden eagles nesting among its steep cliffs.
